Pros

They will hire anyone that passes the background check, can answer specific questions on the interview, and be comfortable working in a Walmart. If you are actually responsible, disciplined, risk taking, organized, clear headed, and capable of clienteling, managing, opening your home and life to your job 24/7 365, and don't mind self managing and sacrificing your salary until you figure it out there is a chance at making money in 2-3 years. You MUST and I mean 100% be a social person, not done of the time, all of the time. It is required. My recommendation? It is best for "interning" any job will be easier than this. Take this job if you live at home and go to school of money is not an object and you're social you so have fun and earn some applicable skills in the business world IF you're serious about it.

Cons

Commission only Owner/Manager is not consistent and vulgar. Expect cussing on a regular bases. Success rate of employees is low, VERY high turnover Requires you to be a self managed person already or it will be time, months, before you make consistent money. MUST know how to clientele and follow up or you will lose most of your first clients due to neglecting follow up. Job requires you work 24/7 the more you get involved and you WILL get involved. You have easy hours to start, then the mornings start earlier as you move up and they don't require it, but you end up working 8am-8 pm or as late as 10 pm and then attending office events on your days off that aren't stated as mandatory but are if you want to be successful. Then they "recommend" (do or die) you come in on your only other day off or risk falling behind your colleagues. It is a multi- marketing scheme, the model puts all business risk on you. Think Avon, Young Living, Mary Kay, with an office and set hours but you're in an office 10% of your time, Walmart 70-80% of your time and the rest at team "events" where you go eat or hang out on your own dime. You must be OK with hearing no, you will hear it 100 times for every yes. Yes does not mean you will make the sale. It will be a year at absolute minimum unless you are a diamond in the rough before you make a consistent paycheck. Pay attention to the pay structure. It requires travel that you pay for yourself. Expect to be driving an average of 40-80 miles per day and traveling to other cities and states on your own dime. If you are hesitant after interviewing, say no. It requires commitment for this business model to work for you.

Thanks for your feedback. We just wanted to address a few things that are misleading about your review: (1) We do not hire everyone. Last week for example we received over 300 resumes, called only 150 of those, had only 25 in for a first round interview, and invited back 17 for a second round interview. We hired 3 people. The only reason we are going into detail about this is to back up the fact that we actually have very high standards for who we hire, and we like to bring people on that we know can be successful. (2) Turnover is not really that high, and we have lots of success. In fact, we just opened up a second branch location for our company because we are growing from strength, which is all due to our awesome team. (3) All reps have the opportunity to make consistent money right away, and most do. We pay every employee a base salary + commission on sales. After just a few weeks of training, most consistently hit our sales standards and make good money. Because there is no cap on commission, many make quite a bit consistently. Our sale is not cyclical, so there's really no reason someone should not make "consistent money" as you phrased it. (4) This is a big one. We are NOT a multi-level marketing company in any way shape or form. There is nothing about us that is even close to that. We have a traditional business where employees are W2, work here in the office everyday with set hours, and they make base pay + commission. None of that is even close to what an MLM does. Thanks for your time, we invite anyone who has questions to call us.

Pros

Coming out of Texas A&M, I was really worried about where to start my career, what skills I had, what skills I needed ... it was really overwhelming. LIVE has been perfect. I've learned so much in only a few months and I've grown so much that over the holidays it was noticeable to my family. I feel more confident communicating with people, sales isn't a scary concept anymore and I've learned goal setting and other success habits.

Cons

It took me a week or two to get consistent. That frustrated me and I'm not sure if that is a normal or abnormal amount of time when learning to sell something.

Thanks for your review! We're so glad you've learned a lot by being part of our team! Sales is definitely something it takes time to get consistent at, but two weeks is not too long in the scheme of things, and fundamental sales skills will serve you for the rest of your career. Sounds like you're right on track!!
